About Arts and Flavors Arcisate

The Festival of Arts, Flavors, and Culture brings three days of celebration to Parco Lagozza in Arcisate, Varese province, in the spirit of Valceresio tradition. The absolute star is the Ciumm, the local salami, celebrated in food stands and live preparation demonstrations. Alongside it, an international woodcutting competition, a parade of vintage tractors and Fiat 500s, an artisan market, workshops for children, and three evenings of concerts. Free admission for all.

Three days of tradition in Valceresio

The Festival of Arts, Flavors, and Culture is the grand celebration that annually enlivens the Parco Lagozza in Arcisate, Varese province, celebrating the agricultural and gastronomic identity of Valceresio. For three days, the park fills with scents, music, and traditions, in a free admission event designed for families, food lovers, and music enthusiasts.

The Ciumm, woodcutters, and vintage tractors

The signature dish is the Ciumm, the typical salami of Arcisate, offered in food stands and featured in the 'Ciumm Workshop', live demonstrations of its preparation. Among the most spectacular attractions is the international woodcutting competition, with athletes from abroad, alongside the parade of vintage tractors and Fiat 500s and the artisan market with local products. For the little ones, traditional games, workshops, and pony rides.

Music and local culture

The evenings are enlivened by live concerts of various genres, from rock to pop to brass bands, with moments dedicated to younger audiences as well. The festival, organized by Arcisate Cultura, is much more than a local fair: it's an opportunity to rediscover the rural heritage and cultural identity of Valceresio, in an event that combines taste, entertainment, and community.
